What are the other mfg (custom cab) building for chassis that would meet your spec? Single frame (similar dimensions) or reinf frame (std or as option)? If similar trucks in similar price range are all single frame (with warrenty) that may reassure you.

There is only one other manufacturer that shows the numbers on the custom. The numbers for this frame are bout 25% higher being reinforced, but the price is $20,000 out of our price range, so it is not an option. We will have a hard enough time coming up with the 12,500 that is required in the grant. I guess we will have to buy what we can afford and hopefully it will all work out. Thank you all for your help.
